Meanwhile in Russia: Vladimir Solovyov complained that everyone sent him pizzas after it was revealed that his alleged would-be assassins planned to intercept his delivery and slip him a poisoned pizza. He argued they should have been shot without a trial.

I was honored to speak at a conference “Intent to Destroy: Confronting Russia’s Campaign to Erase Ukraine & Its People” at Georgetown. The mere suggestion of amnesty for Russia's war crimes and genocidal actions against Ukrainians, contained in Trump's 28-point plan, is an unconscionable obscenity.

My hero this week is Diana Loginova, also known by her artist name Naoko, who gathered a couple of hundred young people in Saint Petersburg while singing songs banned by The Kremlin.
One line in the song goes [quote:]
